"we are going to restrict api access to paying customers" is maybe not the correct approach to take when you aren't paying your bills

CBJSprague24 posted:There was also a noticeable but inexplicable grudge brought to my attention by 2 different members of staff that my boss had toward me almost as if he didn't want me there despite hiring me. The boss of a place I worked at was the company owner who hired on his employees and he hated all of us. The problem is that you are a person who has opinions and feelings and a wage, and your boss would prefer you had none of those things.

Every ounce of Elon's suffering is delicious because it is entirely, wholly, one hundred percent his fault. It's pure schadenfreude.

if we are heading into a crash (and it's always easy to make claims of such) then like too many others it will be due to the excessive greed everywhere. can't have an economic engine if you're starving the actual people who power that engine the easiest and most obvious solution is to stop letting people run up the high scores on the wealth chart and start actually investing in social welfare and direct cash aid, but lol in somewhat related news: Newsom announces $50-million contract to make California’s own brand of insulin quote:... Pending approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the deal with Civica would provide the first pharmaceutical product made under the CalRX brand of generic drugs.

Work from home / return to office should be driven by what makes people the most comfortable and productive, there's not really anything to it beyond that. For some people that means being in an office environment, for some people that involves being at home. But trying to force everyone back into an office for no reason other than "butt in chair" is laughably wrong. And yeah, seconded on the "I don't want to do my socializing at work, with people I work for/with". I would much rather have a return to actually having proper third places. While I'm wishing for the impossible I would also like several billion dollars and a functional pancreas.

when china does it, that's the government doing it, and that's bad but when the us does it, that's private corporations that are doing it, and that's good and anyone who thinks the us government doesn't already have its fingers in pretty much every possible pie is pretty naïve. we have  for a reason

That does make me wonder, now; given Florida's increasingly strict don't-say-gay bill, are we going to see gender and sexuality pamphlets air-dropped around schools? What kind of recourse would FL have against someone setting up shop outside a high school offering info? I mean I know there's something, but I'm curious.

the panic over "oh no a foreign government is running a social media website and slurping up info" really does feel completely misplaced when you consider the effect our own domestic social media platforms have had and the fact that the police in america are more than happy to do their own little social media following for their own fascist ends it's a distraction to take the focus off of our actual issues. who needs to worry about all of our problems when we can point and go "china... bad!"

Cugel the Clever posted:We can walk and chew gum at the same time. While the House GOP is making a spectacle for political points, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be thwarting any inroads made by hostile, antidemocratic powers. And maybe spreading awareness of the dangers of the privacy invasions as perpetrated by the Chinese can be a salient point for reining in similar at home. being able to do something is extremely different from actually doing something. call me when there's a single iota of concern for the poo poo going on in our own borders, because until then, it's all meaningless bullshit. basically, extremely this: McNally posted:Is it, though? On the one hand we have "a 'hostile foreign government' is collecting our metadata for... reasons?" On the other we have "here is proof that domestic law enforcement is collecting our metadata and employing it against us." we have documented, very obvious, very visible problems with social media within our own borders. we have documented evidence of law enforcement using social media to go after left-leaning groups and actively working with alt-right fuckheads. we have a megalomaniac running one of the biggest social media services and openly turning it into a nazis-allowed fascist free-for-all. but also like, gently caress does it matter? we have citizens united. the election manipulation is coming from inside the house!
